#c: Ludo

[nancycattermole]

who : ludo bagman ( @ludobxmxn)

where : the doorway of the great hall

Nancy had ditched her date, and finally things were beginning to look up in the evening. After much time spent with dear Charity. Nancy was about to call it a night, it was only ten-thirty in the evening. So Nancy’s appearance at the ball was somewhat cut short. It wasn’t as though she had imagined dancing until the sun rose, but the young woman had expected somebody slightly entertaining.

The only topics her date seemed well versed in was ancient runes and the inner workings of the wizarding postal service, two hobbies that Nancy feigned interest in for the first hour. Only to find that he did not share the same level of tolerance as dashed her belief in astrology within a mere few seconds. That was the final straw. Nancy was moments away from telling him where to shove his post, but instead settled for a “let’s spend the rest of our evening apart.” That was slightly sweeter.

Nancy had almost escaped the Great Hall when she came face to face with Ludo. “Oh,” Nancy expressed, shocked.

Someone Nancy hadn’t set eyes on from the beginning of the night, and opted to avoid incase any of any awkward encounters with her date. She didn’t want Ludo to have to awkwardly stumble over the fact that she was the mother of his child in-front of a woman that he had only just met. Her eyes falling to the tie around his neck, that hung loose at either side of his shirt. Nancy tried to push down any glimmer of jealousy that may have risen to the surface at the implication, returning to the great hall disheveled could mean that his date was going particularly well. A factor that Nancy tried to tell herself was none of her business, and that as co-parents, she shouldn’t care about.

“Merlin, Ludo.” Nancy chuckled, “what happened to your tie?” Should she ask? Especially, if the answer could send her to bed with a worry that Nigel could have a sibling in another nine months? “Do you need me to fix it? Or is it too late in the evening for that.”

It wouldn’t be entirely untrue to say Nick had been thinking up ways to accidentally run into Ludo for months now. The more attached Mary got the more satisfying it would be to watch it all come crumbling back down, sure, but he hated when people touched his things. He’d have to be careful with this, he’d have to play it right. Mary probably filled the idiot’s head with all sorts of little sob stories. True sob stories, sure, but that mattered less.

“Mr. Bagman!” He called as he threw up a hand in wave, an easy friendly smile on his face. “Big fan of your recent work, mate. Do you think you could spare a few minutes?”

For once having a good day, the witch had gone out to get some quidditch supplies and decided to grab a drink afterwards. Sitting by the bar, Athena was enjoying a simple butterbeer, not looking for the usual high. A figure sliding into the seat beside her made her turn her head to see who it was, a chuckle leaving her lips as she recognised the wizard. “Ludo, dear, miss getting your ass kicked or simply miss my pretty face?”

✿ Lily and Ludo

Lily actually had a 10 step plan of how to disappear Ludo if it had turned out he meant ill towards Mary

She’s afraid to tell him she’s pregnant in case all those predictions they made about her and James as parents come true

[offtotheratraces]

Peter chuckled, "Is your aunt may also 5'8 and incredibly sexy in a trenchcoat?" He wiggled his eyebrows, his hands gesturing to his tweed ensemble. "If so, can I meet your aunt May? She sounds like a fabulous lady." Jesting with Ludo before shaking his head, "Nah Ludo mate, I'm just kidding. I'm dressed as Sherlock Holmes, the best detective in all of muggle London."

Swigging at the Butterbeer that was in his hand, Peter had just wandered across from one of the stalls. Peter was in a slight stupor, seeking out another bar to continue his night. "It looks packed in there, I might circle back." Peter then pointed on down the Hogsmeade high street. "Rosa Lee Teabag is apparently giving out boozy chocolate. Fancy joining me?"

ludo's still dusting himself off when he realizes it's peter, and he's overjoyed - the night was too young to end, he knew. he's confused, however, at the reference to sherlock holmes - or as to what peter is dressed in, at all. "you look like my aunt may," he quirks a brow in amusement, unsure of what else to say. "are you dressed as my aunt may?" he asks a second later, thinking a light had gone off in his head.

"how's the night, ay?" the irish boy asks, sheathing the saber back into his belt. "if you're lookin' to go in there," he motions towards the three broomsticks, "they're right off they're arses, barely charged me for my last drink." he points out, unaware that he'd been given the same student discount every other hogwarts student had gotten. "where you off to?"

CERRADO.

—No te preocupes por el toque de queda, los elfos prepararon salas y habitaciones para quien quiera quedarse— expresó el chico con una sonrisa, había organizado una fiesta en su casa por la última victoria de su equipo y como siempre pensaba hacerla en grande.

will not shut up about how bluey's 30 min episode gave us so much more lore and references to the real world

the writes really made so much literal and euphemistic use of the word "sign" in this episode

in chronological order! and spoilers below!!

do let me know if I missed anything out!

FRISKY AND RAD'S WEDDING!!!! in the iconic heeler house!!

bandit's bully bucky dunstan being the real estate agent selling his house

English sheepdog buying the bluey house (emigration - would be nicer if they got english voice actors to voice them though)

the bluey house was actually for sale on an Australian real estate website! and as per the time of writing this post, it's been "withdrawn from sale" - the bluey digital marketing team AMAZES ME.

I wonder which city bandit got a new job in - don't know if they'll explore that in future seasons

bluey's friend the brown dog (I'm sorry I don't know his name) having 2 mums!

winton talking about his divorced parents and the terriers' saying their mom likes winton's dad!!!

jack and his army interest! him and rusty playing army!!

the sitting in a tree, kissing thing that kids do

Jeremy the gnome

bobo being the car's name

frisky's licence plate being fr15k

the first time kids sit in the front seat of the car

police officers pulling people on the road over LMAO

rad's profile picture being him goofing around with his 2 brothers

how realistic it is trying not to lose someone you're following on the road

the butterfly from slide!! 🦋 it has a name! flappy!

everyone being afraid of the butterfly except bingo because we know she loves insects!

chilli reminiscing how she and frisky used to go to the lookout to "think" when we all knew she meant drink LOL

frisky's 3rd friend appears!

BRANDY IS PREGNANT???

the canon in d rendition as bgm

the busker being the priest??

also they got mort and maynard to come attend the wedding too!!

frisky's father is a typical surfer dude lmao

we see trixie standing amongst the girls during the bouquet toss. and then we see stripe come in to intercept the toss. does this mean that stripe and trixie are not married yet and have just been cohabitating? stripe grabs the bouquet and celebrates, but we see trixie face palm... what does this mean??

love the photo montage and the huge family photo, how it shows that you can't get everybody to be ready for the photo

AFTERPARTY

GRANDPA BOB WENT TO INDIA TO FIND HIMSELF 😭 man needed spiritual rediscovery

the busker is the music dj too!!

uh oh... stripe and trixie are fighting... perhaps it was about the bouquet toss? and we see socks playing with the cake toppers - possibly mimicking her parents actions

awww Radley quit his job so that frisky could stay in a city she loved ❤️

they brought back the music from dance mode!

NANA AND BOB FLOSSING!!!

chattermax randomly appearing 😭

bingo getting stuck in the railing again

bingo being sad because she has to move and lila won't be able to follow. which is also the moment I realised they won't be moving in the end, because of the montage at the end of daddy drop-off episode where bingo and lila grow up together and be friends "forever and ever and ever"!

the 2 English sheepdogs pushing their fluff away from their eyes to see haha

THEM SEEING WINTON'S DAD'S HOUSE WITH A POOL WHICH IS FOR SALE BECAUSE THEYRE MOVING IN WITH THE TERRIERS AND THEIR MOTHER!! THEY ALL FIT IN ONE CAR!!!

seeing the iconic bluey house empty, with spots where furniture used to be somehow makes me feel a little empty and nostalgic

the montage of them saying goodbye to their old neighbours, bandit having one last chat with pat, the girls and chilli saying goodbye to judo and her mum

Judo still has short hair!

chilli reminiscing the kitchen because bluey took her first steps there

WHO SANG THAT SONG IN THE END PLEASE RELEASE IT LUDO STUDIOS

THE SHEEPDOGS WENT BACK ON THEIR DECISION TO BUY BLUEYS HOUSE TO BUY WINTON'S DAD HOUSE

you can tell how much chilli didn't want to move as she was the first one out of the car running over to hug him when she realised bandit didn't want to sell the house anymore. and the shoulder shakes shows that she was fully sobbing too

iconic kiwi rug! loved the simplicity of the last scene, where even if there's nothing around you, as long as you're together with the people you love, eating the simplest meal, enjoying the moment, that's family.

Here be yet more Fred Thursday musings ;-)

[Long post and spoilers for all of Endeavour here.]

So, I was thinking yet again (for the billionth time ;-) ) about Fred Thursday and the three people we see him kill over the course of Endeavour while trying to save someone else:-

Mrs Coke-Norris

Ludo Talenti

Raymond Kennitt/Peter Williams

The show seems to be pointing us into believing that the third of those is somehow much, much worse than the first two and I... have a problem with this.

I mean, in all three cases Fred was responding to an immediate threat to life (of someone he cared about, and in the second and third cases also Fred himself). In the case of Mrs C-N Fred was officially on duty which gives him some extra legal cover, but I'd say no extra moral cover.

I'm no legal expert, but from what I understand, under English-and-Welsh law, none of the three were murders; you're looking at manslaughter at worst, at best a good case for self/other-defence, which... is a grey area but certainly a decent defence lawyer could have had a good go.

(It is worth noting, of course, that this is the morseverse and this is Fred Thursday; he's made so many enemies both in the criminal justice system and among criminals, mostly through doing actively good things, that his chances of either a fair trial or then surviving prison are basically non-existent. I think we have to weigh all of Morse's decisions in "Exeunt" with that in mind because there's no way Morse isn't aware of it. Sam's chances of surviving prison for drug-dealing I think we can assume would also be remote, again due to the enemies Fred has made. And I think again, we have to weigh both Fred's and Morse's decisions with that in mind.)

So... yeah. I think there are only three things that you might consider as making the killing of Raymond Kennitt worse than that of Ludo Talenti or Mrs Coke-Norris:-

the use of the knife rather than a gun, which makes it theoretically possible that Fred could have found a way to end the fight that didn't involve killing Kennitt. That does strike me as something that's probably easier to see from a backseat than if you're Fred in the middle of what's happening, but still.

we know Kennitt's horrifying backstory (not that Fred does), and so feel huge amounts of compassion for him even though he's obviously awful in the "present", and sympathy for the grief that Jakes would feel if he knew what had happened. That's inevitable I think, but, well. Can we be sure that Mrs C-N and Ludo aren't child abuse survivors too? (We do know that Fred and Charley both are, though not the details.) All in all, I think this is a show that wants us to feel compassion for as many characters as possible, and I don't want to assume that Mrs C-N and Ludo didn't end up Like That for no reason.

the fact that Fred kills Mrs C-N and Ludo in defense of Morse (the protagonist, Fred's protege, and a character we all love) and kills Kennitt in defense of Sam (a more minor character, and Fred's son). I would hope that Morse wouldn't see it like that and that neither does Russell Lewis because obviously that's a dreadful position to hold, but... yeeeah. It would annoy me a lot if that's part of the reasoning of the show, but protagonist-centered morality is a flaw in an awful lot of fiction, and while Endeavour mostly doesn't give into it, I don't think any writers are immune. So I do have a horrible suspicion that this is the bit that makes the actual difference, even though I really think it shouldn't be. If Fred had killed Kennitt to save Morse rather than Sam... would we as an audience feel differently? (I ask that of myself as well as of anyone else who wants to ask it of themselves! And honestly, I probably would feel better about the killing if it was for Morse, even though rationally I know it's no different!)

I'd actually say that in the case of the killing of Kennitt there are a couple of minor mitigating factors that the first two lack:-

Fred is in the worst state mentally we ever see him in "Exeunt", and is completely falling apart; earlier in the day he had some form of heart episode or possibly severe panic attack. At any rate: he's going through hell and he is ill as a result.

I can't actually remember if he has his gun with him during the fight with Kennitt, but he certainly isn't willing to use it given the situation; the knife is Kennitt's not his, and a weapon you aren't intending to use is for practical purposes not here, so he's... taken on an armed man while essentially unarmed. Fucking berserker that he is. Rather than two people with guns going up against each other.

you can see a moment of decision in Roger's face for the killings of both Mrs C-N and Ludo; by Fred's own account to Morse (which I think we can take as honest) he didn't make any conscious decision to kill Kennitt (see above re awful mental state).

Honesty? I think that killing in immediate self-defence and/or defence-of-other is however as close to necessary and justified as killing ever gets, and I'm inclined to be extremely forgiving about all three deaths. I'm not sure Fred had a real choice in any of the three cases.

What Fred does do in the third case that really is different of course is the cover-up, in misleading everyone, in being an absolute arsehole to Morse when he comes to check on him that night. In all of it it's massively, massively understandable (as he's a) ill, b) still trying to protect Sam). Morse's sense of betrayal though is also massively understandable. Ugh. My heart hurts. *shakes fist at Russell Lewis, and also at Roger and Shaun for being so amazing*

Anyway. Do I have an overall point? Probably: Fred Thursday is a complicated character and I love him and I want to hug him and also throw things at him. He has horrible violent tendencies but he isn't a murderer under English-and-Welsh law, and I don't think s9 makes sense unless we interpret him as very mentally unwell by the end of it. Also: Morse and Thursday both need different jobs, holy shit. Also also: I reckon Morse ended up forgiving Thursday and being in touch with him, because he is pretty fair when given time to process things, and he doesn't have Morse-centered morality. Also also also: Russell Lewis is a meanie and I want more fix-it fics. ;-)

send me ‘X’ to see how your muse appears in my muse’s NIGHTMARES

Nick doesn't often remember his nightmares but this one he gets to see play out in real time: Ludo makes Mary happy. Ludo makes Mary smile, laugh, light up. Nick had worked so hard to make sure she'd never do those things without him haunting her thoughts, and Ludo's taking it away from him.

[garfilledlive]

i believe c! garfilled (redacted smp) actually wears a cat zip up suit. do you confirm that?

lowkey have no idea.

ive always pictured garf as a straight-up anthropomorphic cat guy in redacted at least, considering im not the only non-human/"furry" design on the smp (see: spleep, ludo, spotastic, pianocats).

but also i dont mind headcanons at all! any garfilled design/headcanon is cool to me. both human and furry redacted garf have had some sick fanart over the years, all of which ive always really appreciated :)

The Ink Demonth 2023 - Day 10. Creation

Day 10. Creation Crossover: Bluey Don't worry, Chilli, he doesn't bite. He's very friendly... to children. I wanted to see the faces of Bluey and Bingo's parents at least once when they don't really want to play with their daughters in their imagined situations and characters XD I remind you: my Bendy, despite being a real demon, is very friendly to children and likes them very much. Perhaps because of who he was ultimately supposed to become, maybe he simply has the nature of a person who likes children - but he wouldn't hurt a child, which will be a very important thread in the probably 4th series of SATIM. If anyone is unfamiliar with this wonderful cartoon, I highly recommend them to check it out - it's available on Disney+. It's a really positive, nice story that arouses only positive emotions. Two girls play a different game or something with each other or with their parents in each episode. A wonderful show of imagination and many ideas for playing with children. Have you ever had a safety blanket (or as I prefer to call it: Sammy Support)? This series is such a safety blanket as bad or depressive thoughts attack... I recommend. Initially, I wanted to draw the characters from Bluey in the original style - but while this style is pleasant to watch as a cartoon, it is not pleasant to draw at all... So I decided to draw the characters in my own style. I think it turned out nice. Just look.

Interesting fact: originally, this day was supposed to be a crossover with Clover, which I made for Pen, and in Pen a crossover with something that ended up in Factory… Why such changes took place - I will explain on the occasion of Factory ;) Bendy and the Ink Machine (c) Joey Drew Studios Inc.

[nancycattermole]

It was hard - to be away from Nigel. Especially as Christmas approached, she was jealous of all the older students who could live off campus. If Nancy had that option, Nigel would be with her. They wouldn't have to be relying on Nancy or Ludo's parents. They wouldn't be missing the big moments. At Ludo sitting down beside her, Nancy scooted to the side a tad to give him more room. A smile on her face at the revelation that they would get there to be there for his first haircut. "Thanks, Ludo." She appreciated those gestures. "What did he dress up as for Halloween this year, did your mum mention?"

"I'm good - better than when I first came back," She reassured. Leaning into his touch instinctively. A small pang of guilt in her chest at the mention of Nigel singing for her all day. Other students their age didn't quite understand, but she was reassured knowing that Ludo felt the same. "This time of year - these are the moments you don't really want to miss." Nancy nodded. "How have you been, Ludo?"

"oh, sure, sure, we'll get him loads..." ludo mumbles off as he re-reads the letter, setting himself down beside the other without an invitation. "move over, mate," he grumbles to the boy beside them, squeezing himself in. "i told mum to save his hair for when we're home, so we could be there when it's cut for the first time." he knew small things like this would please nancy; and despite them not being together, ludo liked keeping nancy happy. it's what he would want from her, too. nigel's childhood was a partnership, he wants them both to revel in it.

"she's told me he sings mummy all day long," he adds in afterthought, smiling back at the toddler in the photos as he waves. "you doin' alright?" ludo asks, a hand coming up to rest on her shoulder in support. "i miss him, too."
